• Settings Pike Giant (Superior fuse V and X-tail) :
    Hook apx 103mm from leading edge (see picture), CG: 105-109mm from leading edge
    CG will change with lead. Adjust with spacers.
    Throws are based on Jo Grini's throws. Please make own adjustments.
    Model is flown with positiv thermal flap even when hunting thermals. Amount of thermal flap is adjusted all the time for most effective flying. It is deppendant on the air one flies in. Neutral is only used for distance, speed in poor conditions (or too much lead) and when in need to come home fast. Negative camber (reflex) is used for speed in good conditions or after a start with too little lead in model.
